WB Game Day V Gold Coast Suns R11 2023 Sat 27/5, 7:25PM - TIO Stadium, Darwin

Well the media are full of it . Last week they were praising our back line and how it was so good recently, this week apparently our backline with the exception of Jones is terrible and needs Naughton down there. It’s comical how they do a complete turn around each game.

I would've made the move at half time.

He was sooooo bad.

Although he mightve got in Jones' way ;)

Marra is a natural forward he gets in good spots.

Chef - it's time.

Needs a hair cut and to refocus.

More focus was on space given to the GC player from TOB and Gardner. It's been good up until Saturday and the old saying has always been You're only as good as your last game.

It?s becoming really annoying how much NBA style analysis is creeping into footy coverage. It can?t just be that Ballard played an outstanding game and defended Naughton perfectly, it has to be about who sucks.

I get that it?s because it?s (much) easier to anger an audience by pointing out errors rather than informing them by pointing out successes, but it gets pretty frustrating to hear end on end how no one is actually good.

It’s not just nba and it’s nothing new. We as fans expected more from Naughton and the criticism is valid.

25/30 votes to the GC in a 1 goal game?

Sounds like a game one coach expected to lose (Dew) against a side who expected to win (Bevo).

#whystupidindividualawardsdontmatter

Macrae not getting a vote is criminal

Bont has been down the last month must be carrying again.
